In Mathare, where over 40% of children face chronic malnutrition, a nourishing meal is more than just food—it’s hope. Thanks to our friends at Third Lens, who supported this special meal. Our eduKenya students felt seen, celebrated, and satisfied!

Under the care of their agriculture and nutrition teacher—and with help from Head Chef Harrison—students prepared a morning snack: mandazis!

We’re grateful to see how God is shaping young hearts and minds through moments like these—nourishing both body and spirit.

Climbing higher, growing stronger — our students conquered the rocks at Hell's Gate National Park with courage and joy! A journey that built not just strength, but spirit. “If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.” — Psalm 139:8.

Mr. Olwamba, our school’s arts teacher, is cultivating a love of music. His approach fosters confidence and a love for Kenya's rich musical tradition. Our students will get the opportunity to demonstrate their talent in this year's performing arts competitions!

Our Mawewa School hosted a Grade 7 Coding Camp earlier this year! The camp brought together 32 enthusiastic learners from eduKenya and a nearby school in Mathare, was facilitated by 3 instructors, and made possible by one of our partners, the Kijabe Children's Education Fund!

9th graders put the scientific method to the test! Like early explorers, scientists sought to understand the world. These young men and women may use this scientific foundation as chemists, doctors, or bakers!

When you support eduKenya, you support moments like this.

Dr. Mary, eduKenya board member, led a teachers' conference at our high school. Our staff enjoyed workshops on communication, identifying student gifts, and critical thinking. Continued investment is essential to a healthy, Christ-centered learning environment!

As they await their final exams at the end of the year, our senior students test their mental and physical fortitude in the Aberdare Range. When you give to eduKenya, you make opportunities like this possible. If you'd like to support, please visit https://t.co/LaaH6xNPaK

One of our core values is people: we view each person as beloved, created, and loved by God to experience fullness of life. One of the ways we live this out is through regular meetings with our parents, where we inform, encourage, and hear what they are walking through.

Meet the members of eduKenya's art club! As a part of our holistic approach, we want students to discover their unique gifts alongside a robust education. They can make anything, like lions, tigers, and bears– oh my!

Fridays at Mawewa School are for clubs! The learners are given the opportunity to attend the club of their choice. Here, Sir Jack led our students in scouting activities. Through this program, students are empowered through teamwork, leadership development, and practical skills!

One of the signs of a healthy learning environment is the sound of children enjoying foosball, board games, magnetic blocks, or going on an imaginary adventure. What was your favorite game to play in school?

Every parent plays multiple roles in their child's life, and this meeting discussed being a provider and leader.

When we partner with the whole family, transformation extends beyond the classroom. Join us in praying for our students, families, and Mathare community!

Our high school students recently visited a children’s home in Wote, Kenya called Calosci. Despite their own background, students recognize the importance of giving back!

Project 77 with the Well Coffeehouse is moving full steam ahead! We have completed soil tests, drilling, and water quality tests. Our team is now building infrastructure for staff and water storage.

We are so grateful for this partnership and this farm's potential!

Who wants a friendship bracelet?! Beadwork is an art form in Kenya and dates back centuries. A bead's color can communicate your age, marital status, or significant life events. Our students put their skills to the test and developed creativity, teamwork, and attention to detail!

Mawewa Primary students recently elected their student leaders. Interested candidates for the various leadership offices prepared campaign speeches to present before the student body, and voting was held on January 24! New leaders were chosen, and we wish them the best of luck!

Behind every successful student is a village. A school in the Mathare slum of Nairobi, Kenya does not come together out of nowhere. It starts with a vision, careful planning, and intentional execution.

School is in session! Our 18th year of education began with reviewing our syllabuses, settling into new desks, and getting to know new teachers.

Our theme verse for the year is Proverbs 90:12, "So teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom."

Children in Mathare are often forced to grow up quickly with limited positive role models. We believe the sustainable solution to this dilemma is equipping our graduates to be the role models they wish they had.
